_______________
An obituary was in The Times of 28th December 1981, outlining a varied career in the forces, journalism and TV.
At the end of this article, it says that he and Val had three sons and two daughters. I have yet to find the third son, there are only 4 children on The Genealogist and none on Scotland’s People.
However FindMyPast shows this male birth:
Last name First name(s) Registration district County Registered year
ARNOLD-FORSTER David O Barton Lancashire 1956
But the mother’s maiden name was Brooksbank.
There was a marriage of Thomas E O Arnold Foster and a Brooksbank in Q2 of 1956 in Wharfedale district, W Yorks.

His baptism is recorded for 1955, presumably in preparation for marriage:
